Who thinks we'll actually beat Seattle on Saturday?

I say we actually crush them. I am predicting a +14 win

 

 

 

this.

 

 

 

Carolina's D is playing at the 2013 level, which means arguably the best defense in the league.

 

 

The Seahawks are going to struggle on offense. The key will be for Carolina to convert in the redzone and not turn it over. I think they take care of business and win handedly.

I think we can win.

PhillyB already laid out all of the reasons in his thread. No one thought the Seahawks would dominate the Broncos the way they did in the Super Bowl, so anything is possible, but I don't think it goes that way for us. Things are finally starting to click for us at just the right time.

What's your gameplan to victory? Any reasons besides how "we're due" or "we're a team of destiny" or "I have a feeling"?

 

I think we lose 31-13, similar to the Sunday Night Football game in New Orleans last year. We've improved and we've had a successful season where I can see us making a Super Bowl run next year, but at the end of the day, we still have Byron Bell at LT and presumably Brenton Bersin at punt returner.

 

You think we will lose?  I think we win.  Close but a win.

Most analytics experts agree this year's Seahawks team is the best in at 7 years, maybe since the Patriots dynasty of the early '00s. There's no shame to losing to a juggernaut like this. I look at the Seahawks current roster and coaching staff and I don't see any weaknesses. But we have a great young core, we're getting out of cap hell, and we have a great GM. Don't be surprised to see us in the Super Bowl next year, but beating Seattle in Seattle on Saturday? Come on man.

The way this D is playing we absolutely have a chance to pull out the W. They've struggled to score points for much of the year as is. I think we hold them to under 20 points.

 

Play smart mistake free football, don't have any massive boneheaded screw-ups, offense puts up 20-24 points. That's enough for a win.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
